Who we are
We are the Planetary Society for Bionomic Renewal – terra-ngo
A Delaware resident registered not for profit corporation.
We as society do not collect any kind of personal information, unless of course you desire to register with us or desire to become a member of the society and then only in so far as required for our relationship.
Please do be aware that the hosting provider and system software may act on any of the following. As of March 24, 2024 we have changed hosting providers and this document – our privacy policy is under review and will be updated accordingly in the next 30 days to reflect what data and what not our present hosting provider may or may not collect.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site the system may collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be passed on to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your chosen gravatar picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website or any website for that matter, you should be aware that uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) may expose you involuntarily. This is true for all websites and applications that permit upload of something as simple as a selfie. Visitors who download your images from the website may be able to extract that location data from the images. Again, this is true for all websites and applications on the internet. Not just this one.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site – as on any other site on the internet – you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. The system uses these for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies may last for certain time periods which can be different from one site to the next. The best way to keep you safe from unnecessary cookies is by using a privacy browser that allows you to selectively set what you are willing to share. One such browser is brave.
If you visit our login page, the system we use may set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for a certain time – again this happens on all sites and timeframe may vary. On our system, if you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, the system may set an additional cookie in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after a certain timeframe.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites, once you click on the content should open a separate window and you become a visitor of the other site with its own policy.
We as a society do not use embedded content, but if it is used you will be informed that you are leaving our site and are in effect on another website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who we share your data with
We take privacy very seriously and we as organization do not share the information you provided us with anybody.
The only exception to this is if you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email to make sure it was you who desires the password reset.
How long we retain your data
We as the organization do not retain any data other than what you voluntarily shared with us-
However, the system may, if you leave a comment, retain the comment and its metadata for as long as it is posted.
For users that register on our website (if any), the system will store the information provided in the user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their information at any time (except that users cannot change their username). WordPress, which is the software platform we use allows website administrators to also see and edit the information provided with the exception of the chosen password.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
The system may send visitor data to a third party service such as google’s reCAPTCHA in order to assist with automated spam detection.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us direct via email : contact[at]terra.ngo.
